Yeah, I wouldn't mind a chip collection for myself...
Had the same thought last year, but everytime I collected a $5 chip to save, I somehow managed to spend the different chips at there casinos before leaving! doh!

Question is, where do you look to find the old chips ?

ebay... there's quite a few variations knocking about. and one seller in Nevada sells a set of the current 25 "Strip" casino's $1 chips... with postage/import tax, works out at about $80.

ahhhh, in that case, Roll on May, will get my own, and use some discipline so I don't put them back on the tables!

i'm thinking of buying a load of $1 chips to frame as picture...

I'm intending to do this and get a $1 chip from as many casinos as I can!

you have my admiration, i think i'm just going to buy them online

I have a collection of the old plastik buckets, about 14 different ones...no idea what to do with them.

I have lots of old room keys but only if they have a design/ad on them, also have a Sahara matchbook.

I also have a few chips, I have a $5 one from the flamingo that the dealer said he hadnt seen before so i kept it, there are probably thousands out there really tho

haha, for me it wouldn't be the same. I wanna know that all the chips I got have come from a visit to the Casino.

Yup, however its not spam if you set their posts to only be viewed by you

I don't mind too much anyhow, can't complain with $100 in under 5months! Still 6months til I go too! :beer: :j

I agree, no need to spam on facebook, just set it to go to one person (or just yourself!). It definitely works if you set it to one person (hubby and I just spam each other with it).

Also, although the points may have dropped, I'm getting more shares than I did a while ago, so I still think I'm getting more points than I was expecting so I'm still a happy bunny. $90 each in just 4 months, and still nearly 7 months till we go we should do alright out of this. I just need to make sure I cash out some points mid-march and then I know my points are safe until September.

hehe I know what you mean we're off there in April, but will only visit a few of the casinos, so don't want to make it into a bit of a mission going round all of them! would rather spend my time enjoying the holiday or sitting by the pool

Only 3 weeks to go now and I have been thinking of buying a new $1 chip from every casino we visit and them mounting them in a frame.
In 9 days how many could I collect LOL

nvh

We collect $1 chips from the hotels we stay in. !!!!!! all luck in mounting them in anything so far though!

It's no hassle getting them. Just go to the cashier and give them a dollar! Mention it's for a souvenir and they'll even try to find you a cleanish one
